  1. 16. Chronic infection with chlamydia pneumoniae in COPD and lung cancer

    Författare :Eva Brandén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Chlamydia pneumoniae; chronic infection; lung cancer; COPD; treatment; detection;

    Sammanfattning : Lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are major causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Smoking is the main cause for both diseases, but other factors seem to contribute. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Measurement of T1 relaxation time in lungs - Preclinical and clinical MRI applications to COPD

    Författare :Daniel Alamidi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; biomarker; tobacco smoke; mouse; smoking; lung imaging; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; ultrashort echo time UTE ; T1 mapping; longitudinal relaxation time;

    Sammanfattning : Monitoring of regional lung function in clinical trials of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requires alternative endpoints beyond global pulmonary function tests (PFTs), which is the most common approach for diagnosing lung function abnormalities in humans. A promising magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarker of lung disease in humans and animals is the T1 relaxation parameter. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Allergic airway disease : studies on diesel exhaust exposures, oxylipins and antioxidants

    Författare :Nirina Larsson; Annelie Behndig; Leif Bjermer; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; allergic rhinits; diesel exhaust; airway inflammation; oxylipins; metabolomics; antioxidants; SVCT2; bronchoscopy; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic airway disease, i.e. allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma, is a common health problem. The prevalence is increasing in most countries of the world. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Polyurethane - occupational exposure, biomarkers and symptoms

    Författare :Margareta Littorin; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; spray; polyurethane; nose; metabolites; lung function ; lower airways; inflammation; heat; glue; genetic polymorphism; di isocyanate; Antibodies; biomarkers; Occupational health; industrial medicine; Yrkesmedicin; arbetsmiljömedicin; symptoms;

    Sammanfattning : Isocyanates may cause occupational asthma, rhinitis, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. However, the mechanisms behind initiation of the disorders and the relations between exposure and effect are insufficiently elucidated. Means to biomonitor exposure and risk would be valuable.

  7. 20. Airway antioxidant responses to oxidative air pollution and vitamin supplementation

    Författare :Annelie Behndig; Anders Blomberg; Ian S Mudway; Ragnberth Helleday; Isabelle Romieu; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medicine; air pollution; ozone; diesel exhaust; airway inflammation; antioxidant; vitamin C; dehydroascorbate; vitamin supplementation; Medicin; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Air pollutants, such as ozone (O3) and diesel exhaust particles, elicit oxidative stress in the lung. Antioxidants within the respiratory tract lining fluid (RTLF) protect the underlying tissue from oxidative injury. LÄS MER
